By Mike Gould
1 year agoThe Stockton Heat have made five cuts to their training camp roster, the AHL club announced Monday.
The Heat have released forwards Bryan Lemos, Nick Pastujov, Lane Scheidl, and Mikael Robidoux from their professional tryouts with the club.
Lemos, Pastujov, and Scheidl were already signed to two-way AHL/ECHL contracts for the 2021–22 season and have been assigned to the Kansas City Mavericks, the Calgary Flames’ ECHL affiliate; Stockton announced Monday that Robidoux has now also signed a two-way contract and will also be joining the Mavericks.
In addition, the Heat have released defenseman Keoni Texeira from his professional tryout.
Stockton now has 31 players remaining in its 2021–22 training camp. The Heat will kick off their regular season schedule on Oct. 15 at home against the Tucson Roadrunners.
